E C NUMBER 8 VOLUME 6 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1943 - S AC i H V, i , Committee Abolishes Award System At Weber College Report Lists Nine Reasons for Discontinuance of Medals and Certificates as Rewards for Extracurricular Activities At a recent meeting of the awards, eligibility and scholarship committees, students and faculty met to discuss the awards system. A recommendation was made to the Board of Control that the present award system at Weber college be eliminated. Since the beginning of school last fall, the committee has been trying to find the impossible a fair awards system. The committee had but one solution, and that was to give award points in proportion to the number of clock hours spent in an activity outside of class and class preparation. This plan would have involved a considerable amount of bookkeeping and it would not be stable because activities change every quarter. Mrs. Clarisse Hall, chairman of the awards committee, announced the .following conclusions upon which the committee based its decision to eliminate the present system:Reasons for Decision 1. It is difficult to make any award system fair. 2. There are too many students receiving awards under the present plan. Therefore, the awards had little significance. 3. It is practically impossible to purchase medals and oilskin certificates this year. 4. With the uncertainty of boys remaining in school during the spring quarter, it would be practically impossible to know who is to receive awards. 5. The awards budgets was cut early in this year because of decreased enrollment. This leaves the committee without sufficient funds to purchase awards. 6. Students should be encouraged to participate in activities without expecting an award. 7. The development for the student comes through participation and the honor or award comes through being selected for this participation.8. The school should strive to teach service through the love of doing the service, not for the awards to be obtained. 9. A good deal of research was done before the committee reached this decision, and there was found no elaborate system in other schools such as Weber had. Instead of the present award system, the committee recommended that recognition be given to outstanding students through A. W. S., A. M. S., or through other organizations. Committee Enforces The committee will continue to enforce eligibility and participation rules. The activities have been di-' vided into major and minor groups according to the amount of time devoted to the activity. The new rules are that a student may carry two major activities and one minor activity; one major activity and three minor activities, or four minor activities. In this way more students will have an opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities; and better scholarship will be encouraged and a more balanced student program would be maintained.The following activities are classified as major or minor activities: Classification of Activities Major Activities: Athletics, football Davis, basketball Swenson, and track Davis.

Colonel Beukema Tells Plans for Soldier Students Cheery word has been released that may be of interest to those Weber lads who expect to be given uniforms at the end of the current quarter. The idea seems to be that promising broths of lads like them will want not to waste their time. They will find out about school from the government, if they go on to school. There will be 6(1 hours weekly of supervised work, study, exercise and drill, and work. And how did that word "work" get in there twice?

Pre-medical or technical engineering students of the army enlisted reserve corps will continue in an inactive status until the end of the first full quarter ending after December 31, 1942, according to Mr. Jenson. "Those selected at induction or at the completion of their basic military training for further medical or pre-medical or technical training will be detailed for such instruction under the army specialized training program," said the statement.May Finish Current Year It is the opinion ofi the American council on education that this plan is to be modified so that sophomore engineering students in good standing will be permitted to finish the current academic year before being called into active status. However, no orders will be given to such students to report on a date prior to two weeks after the completion of the quarter. To Active Duty Normally enlisted army reserve corps students, unassigned group, will be ordered to active duty 14 days after the completion of the first academic quarter terminating after December 31, 1943, or as soon thereafter as is practicable with due regard to avoidance of congestion in reception centers. There is a possibility that the navy college program for specialized training will not become effective for reservists until July 1, 1943. Stay in School From all appearances it is advisable for students in the enlisted reserve corps to continue with their education until the exact time specified for their call into active duty. Those students who have done a good job of their schooling at the time of reclassification will probably receive the "breaks." Austad Visits W. C. On Way East to Study Army Work Mark Austad, former student body president, dropped into the college last week to bid the gang so long. Austad was on his way to Baltimore. Md., he said, to take a course in military intelligence. For a year or more now he has been one of the heavy duty announcers over radio station KSL in Salt Lake City. While at Weber, Austad made a name for himself as an orator, placing in national competition. He utilized his ability In a practical way by speaking on Weber college programs before civic groups and the student bodies of neighboring universities. Institute Chooses New Counselor Stan Hurst has been appointed as second counselor in the super-intendency of the L. D. S. institute Sunday school. He replaces Harvey Wheelwright, who was called to active duty with the U. S. army air corps. Other Sunday school officers are John Vernieu, superintendent; John Dixon, first counselor, and Marvey Murphy, secretary.

They, together with Max Jensen, A. M. S. president, have scheduled a whirl of activities to make Men's Week a memorable one for W. C. boys. (Jensen was unavailable at the time this picture was taken). AMS Sponsors Beards As Feature of Annual Men's Week Marvel Murphy Is Friendliest Girl At Weber College Marvel Murphy of La Dianaeda, was named "Friendliest Girl of '43" at the annual affiliated Friendship banquet February 5. Sophvita club acted as hostesses to Chanodo, La Dianaeda, Iota Tau Kappa, Otyok-wa and Tiki Kapa Kapa in the school cafeteria. Decorations were carried out in a patriotic theme. The banquet tables were placed in the form of a "V" and at one end the statue of liberty stood. Silver torches adorned the center of each table. The centerpiece consisted of defense stamp corsages, tied with red, white and blue ribbons. The following program was presented: a patriotic medley by Betty Jo Green; welcome, Marjorie Mc-Kee, president of Sophvita; "We're All Americans." a trio by Saxon Roush, Maxine Hedges and Wealthy Purrington; remarks, Mrs. H. A. Dixon; presentation of a silver trophy to the friendliest girl, by Miss Florence Main; ceremony, by sponsors, presidents and members of clubs; "In Flanders Field," and "America's Answer," by Melva Campbell; "This is my Country," a vocal solo, by Betty Lou Lamor-eaux. Lois Croft, Otyokwa president and Nauna Hyde, Iota Tau Kappa president, had the privilege of drawing for hostess of 1944. Otyokwa club received that honor. The grand finale was the singing of "Purple and White" and the "Star Spangled Banner" by the combined group. Maurine Carr and June Rose accompanied on their trumpets. Special guests who attended were Florence Main, president of La Dianaeda, 1939-40; Nola Agricola, president of Tiki Kapa Kapa, 1940-41; Mary Lou Foutz, president of Chanodo, 1941-42, and Mrs. Henry A.

Don Ameche Picks Melva Campbell To Be Sweetheart Movie star Don Ameche picked Melva Campbell as "Sweetheart of Excelsior" and Verla Bingham, and Marigene Schroeder, as her attendants, at the club's annual dance on February 12. After the dance a reception was held for members and their partners at the home of Bob Petty. Last Tuesday evening Excelsior held an informal party for Leo Loll, club president, who was recently married. A serious initiation was conducted recently in the L. D. S. institute at which time pledges were initiated into membership of the club. Two members of Excelsior. Blake Storey and Russ Thorne, left this week to join the armed forces of Uncle Sam. No Varsity Shoiv, Sanders Says Plans for the varsity show have been cancelled, Ray Sanders, director, reported yesterday. In spite of the tremendous effort put forth by the members of the cast, other activities, studies, and the eternal threat that the draft board might select one or more important members of the group to help win the war, interfered with rehearsals to such an extent that it was impossible to continue. "No one feels worse about it than we do," Sanders said, "but we felt that the show's cancellation was the best solution under the circumstances." Big Frolic . . . Early Banquet Honors Reserve Corps Men Who Will Leave Shortly Max Jensen, president of the associated men students of Weber college, announces that the annual "Men's week" will be held from March 8 to 12, inclusive. The annual growth of beards upon the faces of the men students will be a highlight of the event. The men will start their beard growths on Monday and they will continue to grow them until Friday evening when prizes will be awarded for the heaviest, most unique and lightest beards at the dance which will climax the week's activities. Young and Miner Judge The judges of the beard-growing contest will be Dr. O. Whitney Young and Dr. Ernest L. Miner. The beards will also have a great deal to do with how much the men will have to pay to enter the dance. Those with the heavier beards will, of course, obtain entrance at a smaller charge than those with very little to show for their week's efforts. A. M. S. officers will be on hand to inspect beards Monday morning and see that no one gets a head start in this contest. Another outstanding feature of the week will be a banquet to be held Friday evening before the dance. Every member of the as sociated men students is invited to attend this affair. The theme of the banquet will be one of honor ing the many male members of the student body who are expected to leave for the armed forces soon Carver Presides Wayne Carver will be master of ceremonies at the banquet and the program will consist of talent from the ranks of the A. M. S. The ban quet will be held at the college cafeteria, and the charge will be $1 per plate. Officers in charge of the program are Max Jensen, president; Don Shaub, vice president; Joe Wedell, secretary, and Bob Davis, sponsor. Newly elected frosh representatives working on the entertainment are Francis Connell, Junior Blair, Dick Flygare, Stanley Hurst and Dee An derson. Weber Men Take Active Duty In Armed Forces Half a dozen Weber men have recently left college to assume ac tive duty in the U. S. armed forces. Harvey Wheelwright, Don Woody, Blake Storey and Russ Thorne were members of the army reserve corps and were called into active duty a few days ago. Don McEntire and Joe Kenny were drafted through the selective service act two weeks ago. These men have been active in school activities and their departure will not go unnoticed by the student body. Mrs. Tanner Gets Tagged Again As "Grandma" Mrs. Lydia H. Tanner, dean of the Weber college faculty in point of years of service at the school, was one of the happiest women alive last week. A telegram from California created her pleasant state of mind when it brought word from her son-in-law, Mr. Dix Jones, former school treasurer here, that she was a grandmother once more. This time the recruit was neither WAAC nor WREN nor WAVE but a prospective marine at the very least. It was Mr. and Mrs. Jones' third child and their first son. Institute Offers Concert Nance, Lamoreaux, Webb, Allred Participate Culture being one of the major ideals of the Lambda Delta Sigma religious fraternity, the members of the group are presenting a concert at the Institute of Religion on March 1. Four artists have been selected to display an outstanding sample of Weber talent. Van Nance will play a number of classical pieces on the piano chosen from his large repetoire. John Allred has selected certain poems of her own composition to read. Musical selections will be sung by Betty Lou Lamoreaux, soprano soloist and VerDene Webb will play various violin solos. Members of Lambda Delta Sigma are selling tickets to townspeople and student body members. Proceeds will be used to purchase necessary supplies for the institute. Committee members working on the presentation of the concert are Herbert Weise, Betty Lou Lamor-aux, and Evelyn Applonie, concert chairmen; and John Vernieu, John Dixon, Stan Hurst, Marvel Murphy, Medalou Winter, and Dil Young, officers of the Institute Sunday school. Pete Tests Gold Content During Last Days at "Y" A ripe corn article in the Y News of the latest issue gives the celebrated Rolfe Peterson a galley of type because it has been discovered by Coach Millet that Pete can substitute better than most of the regular players if they don't ask him to substitute all the time. Mr. Millet gave the beanpole boy from Weber a go at basketball one night recently when one going by the title of Big Boy Rex was caught three times in the chicken coop by an imported referee of gentile faith. The article honoring theex-Weber college prexy got more and more elated and more and more condescending as it prospected along down the trail of the Com-stock Lode, and finally it got around to saying that Brother Peterson had always been regarded thereabouts as social chairman. Social chairman . . . Didjuh hear that social chairman! Ye gods, don't they look into a man's past. Why being student body president and captain of the third-stringers were the least of his accomplishments. Dadwatit! That guy can juggle ink bottles with the corks out and the ink in. Then the ... the .. . the article went on to say how Pete was generally thought of as a man of good character and was popular "with all those with whom he comes in contact." Well, it serves him right, for once when he was cornered on the problem, he said that he was going to the B. Y. U. because he wanted "to remain a child a little longer." Here She Is, the Perfect Coed; But There's a Catch By SHIRLEY MILLS Numerous columnists have constructed what they believed to be the perfect girl from outstanding features of college coeds. Although my objective is the same, I wish to deviate from the practiced method a little and make the "perfect Weber college coed" from outstanding qualities of campus men. After listing several of the traits and qualities, I believe to be essential for the perfect girl, I have chosen the following members of Weber college's masculine sex as representative. She should have Francis Connell's eyes; Jack Lane's hair; Blake Storey's profile; and Junior Blair's smile. She should be capable of dressing with the well groomed cleanliness of Jim Bate-man, and possess the courtesy that is representative of Bob Reed. Personality Traits Her personality should shine with the friendliness of Roy Gibson; the naturalness of Wayne Carver, the sincerity of Dee Anderson; Jay Rhee's sense of humor; Doug Stringfellow's quiet charm; and Oren Jacob's ability to dance. Her character must be well shaped with Jay Olson's dependability; Bud Hickman's ambition; and LaVor Wood's loyalty as basic qualities. You are probably waiting, with a great deal of skepticism, for the name of the Weber fboy who was gifted by God with a figure that might be accepted for the perfect girl. But even after two weeks of careful scrutiny of such masculine pulchritude as Otto Slater and Leo Loll, I was unable to find a Marigene Schroeder among you. I Memorial Assembly Will Pay Tribute To Departed Boys Student Body Will Present Service Flag to School in Honor of Former Sons Who Have Sacrificed Their Lives in the Fight for Freedom Weber college will pay tribute to seven of its former sons who have made the supreme sacrifice, in a memorial assembly to be hold Friday, March 5, 1943, according to Beth Rhees, student body vice president and chairman of the assembly. On that occasion the student body will present to the school a flag on which a star representing each of our deceased heroes will be placed. "We feel no words of praise can express the esteem which we feel for the valor and courage of their service,". Miss Rhees declared. Transit Staff Rushes to Meet Deadline Bushell's Gang Goes Full Steam Ahead To Finish Work on Mag By BONNIE CLAY Ye old ed, Irene Bushell, is marshalling members of her staff together in a final effort to meet her elastic deadline. The first edition of the little mag came out only a week late last time and the group expects to have the next magazine out even before report cards. Although it was called the Transit before, it has been rumored that the title was transitory and the title will be changed this time to give everyone a new chance to make good. Bushell reports that this will be a magazine that will offer competition to College Humor, featuring such events as candid shots of hell week, informal pictures of the men's dorm (from showers to dining hall, she said), sweater girls and war widows, and even a bit of plagiarism. Dirty Work Afoot In an attempt to drag the Signpost down to its level, the magazine features pictures of the paper staff in some of its worst moments, making the members look like persons pictured in the Hearst publications.To make sure nothing clean slips in, Bushell and Joan Allred are writing all the copy. Donn Thur-man is doing likewise to the pictures. Other conspirators in the little deal are Haruko Kato, Edna Lichfield, Rose Takahashi, Maurine Carr, June Lefgren, Betty Nelson and Avis Wood. Junior Blair and Jay Rhees are business managers. Ray B. West Jr., is faculty adviser. Former Instructor At Weber College Joins Armed Force Dr. Dean Anderson, former Weber college instructor in bacteriology, has resigned from his position at Brigham Young university, Provo, and gone to Denver as a member of the armed forces. What branch of the services Dr. Anderson joined is not yet known here. The student newspaper of the school carried a tribute to Dr. Anderson's popularity and worth at the B. Y. U. Among those who voiced appreciation of theex-We-berite were the president of the Y chapter of Blue Key, to which Dr. Anderson has been adviser. Dr. Carlton Culmsee of the school of journalism, and several others of the student body and faculty. Figaro's Marriage PI eases Larg e Audience "Marriage of Figaro" was presented in the Ogden high school auditorium as a lyceum number. The singing was done in the English language making the story easy to follow and to understand. In the introduction and between scenes a reader described the setting leaving the audience to imag ine the scenery with only the aid of a few pieces of furniture. The humor and professional singing and acting made the pro gram amusing and enjoyable. The large auditorium was filled to capacity, and judging from the amount of applause throughout the program and particularly at the end all who attended were pleased. Action at Pearl Harbor World war II, Ensign Howard D. Merrill. Ensign Merrill was born in Provo and moved to Ogden at an early age. He entered Weber college in the fall of '36, where he made a high scholastic record. Upon graduation he entered the naval academy where he achieved excellence in the operation of heavy naval guns. He won his letter in boxing and was a member of the Boat club there. He was nicknamed "Ute." Merrill was division officer on his ship at the time Pearl Harbor was bombed. He was Ogden's first war casualty. f Lieutenant Richard E. Pingree Chairman BETH RHEES . . student body vice president, is in charge of the memorial assembly to be held March 5. Music Talent Displayed At Concert Parry and Johnson Take Honors For Duration Weber college auditorium was filled to capacity Monday night, February 15, to hear the accomplishments of the music department which again displayed outstanding musical ability in its winter concert. The climax of the band program was the solo for trap drums, "Calfskin Calisthenics," so brilliantly executed by Q. Rich. Jay Olson's dramatic rendition of "Stout Hearted Men," gave a military and timely feeling to the program. Dean McKec gave a splendid performance of the difficult cornet solo "Stars in a Velvety Sky." Shirley Burrows added color and interest to the program with her tap dancing to band accompaniment of "Tea for Two." One of the outstanding features of the program was the refined vocal quality heard in the various chord groups under Mr. Parry's direction. All the numbers were well chosen and of an entertaining variety. The choruses showed perfection of balance, and finesse in their well-interpreted presentations. Special mention should be made of the "Italian Street Song" with Betty Peterson as soloist, and "Go Down Moses," rendered by the choir. The Dee hospital nurses octet, Musettes, Dorian singers, Sym-phonettes, and choir all did outstanding work. The combined group made a fitting climax in singing "The Bells of St. Mary's." Mr. Clair Johnson and Mr. Roland Parry should be highly complimented for their excellent work in directing these talented people and presenting a concert that has received nothing but praise from those who attended. Weber Students to Present Program Weber college will present an assembly at the Bushncll hospital Monday, March 1, 1943. This is the second such assembly this year. These assembly programs will be taken to the hospital the first Monday of every month.

Al Warden, sports editor of The Ogden Standard-Examiner, had this to say about him. "Major Pell was one of the finest football players in all Weber college history. In 1932 Floyd was named as one of the members of the team to make the long jaunt to Honolulu to play McKinley high." In 1934 Pell was appointed to the West Point academy by Representative Don B. Colton. At the time of his death, he was commanding an air squadron in the Pacific. His good work was so recognized by the army that an air field has been named in his honor.

No Varsity Shoiv, Sanders Says Plans for the varsity show have been cancelled, Ray Sanders, director, reported yesterday. In spite of the tremendous effort put forth by the members of the cast, other activities, studies, and the eternal threat that the draft board might select one or more important members of the group to help win the war, interfered with rehearsals to such an extent that it was impossible to continue. "No one feels worse about it than we do," Sanders said, "but we felt that the show's cancellation was the best solution under the circumstances." Big Frolic . . . Early Banquet Honors Reserve Corps Men Who Will Leave Shortly Max Jensen, president of the associated men students of Weber college, announces that the annual "Men's week" will be held from March 8 to 12, inclusive. The annual growth of beards upon the faces of the men students will be a highlight of the event. The men will start their beard growths on Monday and they will continue to grow them until Friday evening when prizes will be awarded for the heaviest, most unique and lightest beards at the dance which will climax the week's activities. Young and Miner Judge The judges of the beard-growing contest will be Dr. O. Whitney Young and Dr. Ernest L. Miner. The beards will also have a great deal to do with how much the men will have to pay to enter the dance. Those with the heavier beards will, of course, obtain entrance at a smaller charge than those with very little to show for their week's efforts. A. M. S. officers will be on hand to inspect beards Monday morning and see that no one gets a head start in this contest. Another outstanding feature of the week will be a banquet to be held Friday evening before the dance. Every member of the as sociated men students is invited to attend this affair. The theme of the banquet will be one of honor ing the many male members of the student body who are expected to leave for the armed forces soon Carver Presides Wayne Carver will be master of ceremonies at the banquet and the program will consist of talent from the ranks of the A. M. S. The ban quet will be held at the college cafeteria, and the charge will be $1 per plate.

Mrs. Tanner Gets Tagged Again As "Grandma" Mrs. Lydia H. Tanner, dean of the Weber college faculty in point of years of service at the school, was one of the happiest women alive last week. A telegram from California created her pleasant state of mind when it brought word from her son-in-law, Mr. Dix Jones, former school treasurer here, that she was a grandmother once more. This time the recruit was neither WAAC nor WREN nor WAVE but a prospective marine at the very least. It was Mr. and Mrs. Jones' third child and their first son.

Pete Tests Gold Content During Last Days at "Y" A ripe corn article in the Y News of the latest issue gives the celebrated Rolfe Peterson a galley of type because it has been discovered by Coach Millet that Pete can substitute better than most of the regular players if they don't ask him to substitute all the time. Mr. Millet gave the beanpole boy from Weber a go at basketball one night recently when one going by the title of Big Boy Rex was caught three times in the chicken coop by an imported referee of gentile faith. The article honoring theex-Weber college prexy got more and more elated and more and more condescending as it prospected along down the trail of the Com-stock Lode, and finally it got around to saying that Brother Peterson had always been regarded thereabouts as social chairman. Social chairman . . . Didjuh hear that social chairman! Ye gods, don't they look into a man's past. Why being student body president and captain of the third-stringers were the least of his accomplishments. Dadwatit! That guy can juggle ink bottles with the corks out and the ink in. Then the ... the .. . the article went on to say how Pete was generally thought of as a man of good character and was popular "with all those with whom he comes in contact." Well, it serves him right, for once when he was cornered on the problem, he said that he was going to the B. Y. U. because he wanted "to remain a child a little longer." Here She Is, the Perfect Coed; But There's a Catch By SHIRLEY MILLS Numerous columnists have constructed what they believed to be the perfect girl from outstanding features of college coeds. Although my objective is the same, I wish to deviate from the practiced method a little and make the "perfect Weber college coed" from outstanding qualities of campus men. After listing several of the traits and qualities, I believe to be essential for the perfect girl, I have chosen the following members of Weber college's masculine sex as representative. She should have Francis Connell's eyes; Jack Lane's hair; Blake Storey's profile; and Junior Blair's smile. She should be capable of dressing with the well groomed cleanliness of Jim Bate-man, and possess the courtesy that is representative of Bob Reed. Personality Traits Her personality should shine with the friendliness of Roy Gibson; the naturalness of Wayne Carver, the sincerity of Dee Anderson; Jay Rhee's sense of humor; Doug Stringfellow's quiet charm; and Oren Jacob's ability to dance. Her character must be well shaped with Jay Olson's dependability; Bud Hickman's ambition; and LaVor Wood's loyalty as basic qualities. You are probably waiting, with a great deal of skepticism, for the name of the Weber fboy who was gifted by God with a figure that might be accepted for the perfect girl. But even after two weeks of careful scrutiny of such masculine pulchritude as Otto Slater and Leo Loll, I was unable to find a Marigene Schroeder among you. I Memorial Assembly Will Pay Tribute To Departed Boys Student Body Will Present Service Flag to School in Honor of Former Sons Who Have Sacrificed Their Lives in the Fight for Freedom Weber college will pay tribute to seven of its former sons who have made the supreme sacrifice, in a memorial assembly to be hold Friday, March 5, 1943, according to Beth Rhees, student body vice president and chairman of the assembly. On that occasion the student body will present to the school a flag on which a star representing each of our deceased heroes will be placed. "We feel no words of praise can express the esteem which we feel for the valor and courage of their service,". Miss Rhees declared. Transit Staff Rushes to Meet Deadline Bushell's Gang Goes Full Steam Ahead To Finish Work on Mag By BONNIE CLAY Ye old ed, Irene Bushell, is marshalling members of her staff together in a final effort to meet her elastic deadline. The first edition of the little mag came out only a week late last time and the group expects to have the next magazine out even before report cards. Although it was called the Transit before, it has been rumored that the title was transitory and the title will be changed this time to give everyone a new chance to make good. Bushell reports that this will be a magazine that will offer competition to College Humor, featuring such events as candid shots of hell week, informal pictures of the men's dorm (from showers to dining hall, she said), sweater girls and war widows, and even a bit of plagiarism. Dirty Work Afoot In an attempt to drag the Signpost down to its level, the magazine features pictures of the paper staff in some of its worst moments, making the members look like persons pictured in the Hearst publications.To make sure nothing clean slips in, Bushell and Joan Allred are writing all the copy. Donn Thur-man is doing likewise to the pictures. Other conspirators in the little deal are Haruko Kato, Edna Lichfield, Rose Takahashi, Maurine Carr, June Lefgren, Betty Nelson and Avis Wood. Junior Blair and Jay Rhees are business managers. Ray B. West Jr., is faculty adviser. Former Instructor At Weber College Joins Armed Force Dr. Dean Anderson, former Weber college instructor in bacteriology, has resigned from his position at Brigham Young university, Provo, and gone to Denver as a member of the armed forces. What branch of the services Dr. Anderson joined is not yet known here. The student newspaper of the school carried a tribute to Dr. Anderson's popularity and worth at the B. Y. U. Among those who voiced appreciation of theex-We-berite were the president of the Y chapter of Blue Key, to which Dr. Anderson has been adviser. Dr. Carlton Culmsee of the school of journalism, and several others of the student body and faculty. Figaro's Marriage PI eases Larg e Audience "Marriage of Figaro" was presented in the Ogden high school auditorium as a lyceum number. The singing was done in the English language making the story easy to follow and to understand. In the introduction and between scenes a reader described the setting leaving the audience to imag ine the scenery with only the aid of a few pieces of furniture. The humor and professional singing and acting made the pro gram amusing and enjoyable. The large auditorium was filled to capacity, and judging from the amount of applause throughout the program and particularly at the end all who attended were pleased.

Music Talent Displayed At Concert Parry and Johnson Take Honors For Duration Weber college auditorium was filled to capacity Monday night, February 15, to hear the accomplishments of the music department which again displayed outstanding musical ability in its winter concert. The climax of the band program was the solo for trap drums, "Calfskin Calisthenics," so brilliantly executed by Q. Rich. Jay Olson's dramatic rendition of "Stout Hearted Men," gave a military and timely feeling to the program. Dean McKec gave a splendid performance of the difficult cornet solo "Stars in a Velvety Sky." Shirley Burrows added color and interest to the program with her tap dancing to band accompaniment of "Tea for Two." One of the outstanding features of the program was the refined vocal quality heard in the various chord groups under Mr. Parry's direction. All the numbers were well chosen and of an entertaining variety. The choruses showed perfection of balance, and finesse in their well-interpreted presentations. Special mention should be made of the "Italian Street Song" with Betty Peterson as soloist, and "Go Down Moses," rendered by the choir. The Dee hospital nurses octet, Musettes, Dorian singers, Sym-phonettes, and choir all did outstanding work. The combined group made a fitting climax in singing "The Bells of St. Mary's." Mr. Clair Johnson and Mr. Roland Parry should be highly complimented for their excellent work in directing these talented people and presenting a concert that has received nothing but praise from those who attended.
